It’s August and my mind is officially on fall fashion. If I buy anything lately, I hold it up and think to myself can I wear this now and can I wear it on a crisp, October day? Well friends, this Free People Tunic fit the bill. This shade of burgundy is seriously one of my favorite colors to rock during the fall. I wore it out to brunch a few weekends ago as a dress, and I cannot wait to rock this with my black skinny jeans and ankle boots in the fall.
Also, side note: I was totally on TV this weekend! I did a little segment with Fox 5 about fall fashion trends. I was incredibly nervous, not gonna lie haha, but my mother and friends who watched it said I did a pretty good job! Still searching for the video, but of course I’ll share it with you guys when I find it 🙂

![THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpasadena 🌸
After an extremely wet winter, I’m looking for all the spring blooms here in SoCal! Pasadena is only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, and is packed with some of the most stunning botanical gardens in the area — and definitely should be on your list to visit this spring!
Gardens to Visit in Pasadena This Spring (SAVE this post for later!)
🌸 @descansogardens — look out for Cherry Blossoms in their Japanese Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden and don’t miss the lilacs!
🌸 @nortonsimon — you could spend hours viewing the art here both indoors and outdoors in their Sculpture Garden
🌸 @arlingtonpasadena — a free, three-acre garden that’s home to an orange grove & Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree art installation
🌸 @thehuntingtonlibrary — you won’t want to miss their Cactus Garden, the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, and the Chinese Garden
🌸 @langhampasadena — enjoy afternoon tea here & take a stroll through their Japanese Garden for Cherry Blossoms!
My fellow SoCal friends — anywhere else I should check out for spring blooms this year? Let me know! 📸 by @foodphotographer [ad]](https://www.aliciatenise.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)

Ahh, I love burgundy (oxblood, wine, marsala – whatever the actual name is)! It’s such a great color for fall and you can definitely transition this look into a fall look perfectly.

You were on TV how amazing!!! This dress is so cute and I can’t wait to see how you style it this Fall
I literally had a conversation with someone today about my love for fall. It’s the best season, for sure. I love the color of this tunic. I can’t wait for you to share your segment! That’s so awesome!
I am in love with burgundy and maroon and always looking for ways to wear and style that color. Such a cute outfit!
I absolutely love this dress! The color and pattern is perfect for summer and fall!
Those shoes are to die for.. gladiators are by far one of the best trends since foreverrrr! Xo

What size do you suggest to be able to wear it appropriately as a dress since it is actually a tunic? Thanks!
I would size up one from your normal Free People size for sure! I’d also recommend wearing it as a dress if you’re 5’7″ or shorter!
